How much caffeine is actually dangerous?
Hermit
Trouble starts well above 400 mg a day, about four coffees. A lethal dose is around 10 g, which drinks almost never reach. Pure powder is the real risk: one teaspoon can hold over 3 g.

Small enough to fit in a shell.

Questions, answered.

Is it really offline?

Yes. After the one-time model download, Hermit works in flight mode. Nothing you type is sent anywhere, because there is nowhere to send it.

What does "uncensored" mean here?

Hermit answers adult questions plainly, without lectures or refusals for the sake of it. It still won't help anyone hurt people.

How big is the download?

About 0.5 to 1.5 GB, depending on which model your iPhone can run. You download it once, over Wi-Fi.

Is it as smart as ChatGPT?

No, and we won't pretend. A phone-sized model is smaller than a cloud one. It's great for everyday questions, writing and thinking out loud. It can't browse, because it's offline.

Which iPhones does it run on?

[MIN IPHONE] or newer, on iOS [MIN iOS]. Final list at launch.

When can I get it?

The beta opens on TestFlight first, in waves from the waitlist. The App Store release follows.
